Anyway, Elisabeth the second was the second elisabeth. Surely you're not claiming April second is the second month of april?

Same here in Denmark...Originally posted by Sir Ralph
Actually, both in German and Russian "First World War and Second World War" are the right order of words. Besides, I don't see what this has to do with dates.This space is empty... or is it?Comment

In Spanish it is First WW, Second WW, not WW2 or WW1
I liked the system I saw on Russian graves from the Second WW, where the month was a roman decimal. I think day went first too, so instead of 4.5.45 it would say 4.V.45If you don't like reality, change it! me

Don't the Brits use the dd-mm-yy system too ?Originally posted by Oerdin
Ahh, but you see neither German or Russian nor even French are the de facto world language so guess who's going to win in this dispute?

That's what we want the French to think. It's a big Anglo-alliance, also including Australia and Canada designed to strike at the French at the best possible moment.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

Australia uses the European (sensible) order for dates.
dd-mm-yyyy
Although I do prefer yyyy-mm-dd as every other measurement has the largest unit first and so on, so why not the date too?
Except no one says, "12 January, 2003." We say "January 12, 2003."
Many people I know use either.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

You'll be happy to know that the U.S. military would say today is 17 May 03.

Well, day-month-year sounds logical, and certain types of Americans definitely like the Euro-cache.
Except no one in Europe actually speaks this way. My German in-laws always say "April 3, 2003". In german as well as English. So isn't writing the other way pretentious?I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French division behind me.--PattonComment
